We're dividing 21707137 by 427 
We're looking to find how many times 427 goes into 21707137.

Advancing to step 1:
427 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 427

Let's proceed to step 2:
427 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 427

Step 3:
217 divided by 427 is 0 with a remainder of 217.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 217 to get 217.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 217, then repeat: 2170 / 427

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 2170 by 427, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 2135 from 2170.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 357 / 427

Moving on to step 5:
427 can be fit into 357 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 357.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 357 leaves us with 357.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 357, then carry on: 3571 / 427

Moving on to step 6:
3571 divided by 427 is 8 with a remainder of 155.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 508.0
Deduct 3416 from 3571 and we're left with 155.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 155, then repeat: 1553 / 427

Step 7:
427 can be fit into 1553 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5083.0
If we subtract 1281 from 1553, we get 272.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 272 and continue: 2727 / 427

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 2727 by 427, we get 6 with a remainder of 165.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50836.0
If we take 2562 away from 2727, we end up with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 427 fits into 1650 3 times, leaving a remainder of 369.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50836.3
If we subtract 1281 from 1650, we get 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3690, and continue the process.

Step 10:
427 goes into 3690 8 times with a remainder of 274.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50836.38
The remainder is 274 after subtracting 3416 from 3690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 427 fits into 2740 6 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50836.386
The remainder is 178 after subtracting 2562 from 2740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 427 fits into 1780 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 50836.3864
Subtracting 1708 from 1780 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
720 divided by 427 is 1 with a remainder of 293.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50836.38641
Deduct 427 from 720 and we're left with 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
2930 divided by 427 is 6 with a remainder of 368.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50836.386416
The remainder is 368 after subtracting 2562 from 2930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
3680 divided by 427 is 8 with a remainder of 264.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 50836.3864168
If we take 3416 away from 3680, we end up with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 2640 by 427, we get 6 and a remainder of 78.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50836.38641686
If we subtract 2562 from 2640, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Our division results in 50836.38641686 with a remaining 7.8e-08.
